Surprisingly I doubt they move J. Brown since he has a 2 yr deal although I would agree with you. I would much rather keep Gudbranson at half his contract, but it could also be that of all the UFAs Gudbranson might be the more valuable & return more. And given J. Brown has a two yr contract it's much more likely he stays & Gudbranson goes because they both play 3rd pairing RD.Stepan and Anisimov should be out, waived, traded, whatever. Same with J. Brown. I would keep Galchenyuk as he has not been given enough time to fit in and he has looked decent on occasion.
With Galchenyuk he is a left shot & we have Tkachuk, Stutzle, Paul & if we add Formenton four left wingers & IMO Formenton with his speed will get more chances to score & be much more disruptive defensively. What do you think? Ottawa needs a lot more point production from their right side & centre spots, but I don't see Galchenyuk replacing any of those guys either. It's a tough call on Dadonov, C. Brown & Galchenyuk because we know & have seen them all do something just not consistently, especially offensively. I prefer Formenton to Galchenyuk, but that doesn't necessarily mean he would be better, I just think he could be.
